Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9923367A1] A sound muffling material for use in combustion engine exhaust mufflers. The material includes volumised fibres (1) retained in compressed form by a material (2) of lower softening temperature than the fibres (1). When the material is heated by exhaust gases the material of lower softening temperature (2) is softened allowing the compressed fibres (1) to expand. The fibres (1) may be formed into a knitted fabric retained by a sacrificial thread (2). The material may be used to support catalyst bricks.
